Advice you should take yourself

Hes referring to his friend being gay... usually homophobic people arent friends with gay people.

Again, "I'm not racist, some of my best friends are black" logic

Its nowhere near the same thing. Not even close...

Comparable would be using the N word to describe your black friend to their face (something LOTS of white people do) as both that word and *******ot have been reclaimed by the very people it was used against

If you want to get into why then we can but the two words (assuming you are referencing the N word) have totally different social contexts.

It's not about feeling sorry for themselves, it's a matter of respect. Instead of acting like people should have thicker skin, people should just not use that word

I didn't mention anything involving the n-word. I'm just pointing out that your logic that Marc can't even possibly be homophobic because he was friends with the gay guy in the house is the same as saying that someone can't possibly be racist because they have a black friend.

I did. No homophobia whatsoever in it.

If you want to call that homophobic then danny's tweets calling people "gayboy" will have you beside yourself.

If Marc murdered a man and Danny murdered two, you would defend Marc! Your posts nearly always say something along the lines of "it's okay because Danny did it worse".. tonight they were anyway... The rational conclusion that everybody seems to have made from the tweets (excluding you) is that they are both disgusting.

I see nothing homophobic in that tweet. Absolutely nothing.

Can you describe to me exactly how that tweet is homophobic? Use long words, I can handle it.
